A Note on E¢ cient Conditional Simulation of Gaussian Distributions
Consider a multivariate Gaussian random vector which can be partitioned into observed and unobserved components.We review a technique proposed almost twenty years ago in the astrophysics literature to sample from the posterior Gaussian distribution of the unobserved components given the observed components [6]. This technique can be computationally cheaper than the standard approach which requi...
متن کاملA Note on Probability Distributions with Increasing Generalized Failure Rates
X has an increasing generalized failure rate (IGFR) and is an IGFR distribution if g is weakly increasing for all such that < 1. Decreasing failure rate (DFR) or decreasing generalized failure rate (DGFR) distributions can be defined analogously. Clearly, if X is IFR it is also IGFR, but the reverse need not hold; many DFR distributions are IGFR. Pricing a service illustrates the use of IGFR di...
متن کاملA Note on Approximations to Discrete Probability Distributions
An iterative method is presented which gives an optimum approximation to the joint probability distribution of a set of binary variables given the joiat probability distributions of any subsets of the variables (any set of component distributions). The most significant feature of this approximation procedure is that there is no limitation to the number or type of component distributions that ca...
متن کاملConditional Probability Distributions in the Wide Sense1
Introduction. Doob [3, p. 29],2 has shown that if ()= [U, 11, u] is a probability space (i.e. 11 is a cr-field of subsets of a set U and u is a countably additive non-negative measure defined on 11, normalized by the condition u(U) = l) and 1l0 is a o--subfield of 11, and y is an re-dimensional random variable mapping U into an re-dimensional Euclidean space X, then y possesses a conditional di...
متن کاملTesting Probability Distributions using Conditional Samples
We study a new framework for property testing of probability distributions, by considering distribution testing algorithms that have access to a conditional sampling oracle. This is an oracle that takes as input a subset S ⊆ [N ] of the domain [N ] of the unknown probability distribution D and returns a draw from the conditional probability distribution D restricted to S. This new model allows ...
